Harry Styles‘ fans and new album belong together — and now, they finally are. On Friday (March 6), the long-awaited Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally finally dropped, allowing the pop star’s listeners onto the dance floor at last.

Preceded by Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “Aperture,” the 12-track project catches fans up to speed on Styles’ mindset and growth over the past four years, with the star last dropping a full-length in 2022. That year’s Harry’s House debuted atop the Billboard 200, marking his third straight No. 1 on the chart since debuting as a soloist in 2017.


As Billboard‘s co-editor-in-chief Jason Lipshutz writes of the new LP, “Styles spends the first album he’s released in his 30s yearning for connection,” singing “about the one-night stands that spilled over, the ones that got away (and then circled back into his orbit) and the one kind of undying love that’s thus far eluded him.”

Included on the album are tracks “American Girls,” “Ready, Steady, Go!,” “Are You Listening Yet?,” “Taste Back,” “The Waiting Game,” “Season 2 Weight Loss,” “Coming p Roses,” “Pop,” “Dance No More,” “Paint by Numbers” and “Carla’s Song.” Collectively, they take the Grammy winner in a new sonic direction grounded by dance music, which he’ll take in full to the stage for the very first time on Friday night, performing a release show at the Co-op Live. That performance will be captured by Netflix cameras to stream as a concert special two days later, allowing all fans to take part in the concert.

Following the release of Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, Styles is planning to embark on a sprawling world tour made up of seven mini-residencies in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City, Melbourne and Sydney. The trek will include 30 nights at Madison Square Garden and a record 12 in Wembley Stadium.
